Specifications¶
Version cycle¶
The set of software packages for the solution follows the following rules for naming versions.
- The version is divided into 3 digits (A.B.C)
- A: the 1st digit indicates the major version. Incrementation of this figure implies
- the addition of major features (with potentially a loss of compatibility with the previous version)
- adding minor features
- bug fix
- B: The 2nd digit indicates a minor version. Incrementing this number indicates
- adding minor features
- bug fix
- C: the 3rd digit indicates a maintenance version. Incrementing this number indicates
- bug fix
Server tree¶
All files handled by the server are stored in the [....]/var/
directory.
scripts/
serverengine/
servercontrols/
serverinterfaces/
serverrepositories/
libs/
testcreatorlib
testexecutorlib/
sutadapters/
var/
tests/
testsresult/
logs/
tasks/
The tests are stored in the [....]/var/tests/
directory, they are organized by project ID.
Data model¶
- A database is used by the server to store:
- the users of the solution
- the list of projects
- test data (project variables)
- statistics
- the history of executions
Tables | Description |
xtc-config | Server Configuration |
xtc-projects | List of projects |
xtc-relations-projects | Relationship between projects and users |
xtc-users | List of users |
xtc-test-environment | List of variables in JSON format |
xtc-tasks-history | History of tasks running on the server |
Passwords management¶
No password (in plain text) is stored in the database. Using a hash is however used. The hash of the password is stored in the xtc-users table.
The algorithm used:
![../_images/server_table_pwd.png](../_images/server_table_pwd.png)
File format¶
- The tests are in
XML
format. There are several test formats: - Xml Test Unit
- Xml Test Suite
- Xml Test Plan
- Global Xml Test

Storage of test results¶
The test results are stored on the server in the [....]/var/testsresult
directory.
- The results are stored:
- by the id of the test projects
- by the date of the day of execution of the test
- and finally by the date and time of the tests.
Organization of the results:
Répertoire: <project_id>
- Répertoire: <yyyy-mm-dd>
- Répertoire: <yyyy-mm-dd_hh:mm:ss.testid.testname.username>
- Fichier: TESTPATH
- Fichier: test.log
- Fichier: test.ini
- Fichier: <testname>_<replayid>.hdr
- Fichier: <testname>_<replayid>_<result>_<nbcomments>.trv
- Fichier: <testname>_<replayid>.tbrp

Control Agents¶
- The control of the agents since a test is carried out through:
- the adapters
- and the server
- The communication takes place with the exchange of some specific messages:
init
: allows to initialize an agentnotify
: send a message to the agent without waiting for a responsereset
: allows to reset the agenterror
: allows the agent to send an error to the adapterdata
: allows the agent to send data to the adapter
- Direction of available communications:
- Agent -> server -> adapter -> test
- Test -> adapter -> server -> agent
Agent | ||
Function | Callback | |
Send an error message | def sendError * request * data | |
Send a “notify” message | def sendNotify * request * data | |
Send a “data” message | def sendData * request * data | |
Receiving an “init” message | def onAgentInit * customer * tid * request | |
Receiving a “reset” message | def onAgentNotify * customer * tid * request | |
Receiving a “notify” message | def onAgentReset * customer * tid * request |
Adapter | ||
Function | Callback | |
Receiving an error message | def receivedErrorFromAgent * data | |
Receiving a “notify” message | def receivedNotifyFromAgent * data | |
Receiving a “data” message | def receivedDataFromAgent * data | |
Send an “init” message | def initAgent * data | |
Send a “reset” message | def resetAgent | |
Send a “notify” message | def sendNotifyToAgent * data |
The server logs¶
The server logs are located in the [....]/var/logs/
directory.
